Terms of Use

A VPN connects your device to the UMKC network. This means it is visible to the world
as part of the UMKC network which exposes it to the same threats as any device
on the campus. These may include attempts to gain unauthorized access to your
machine. Your device's vulnerability is determined by the security settings,
policies and behaviors you employ in the use and management of the device. It
is your responsibility to protect your device from unauthorized access.
